The author addresses this issue by analyzing the components of real stock returns over the period 1926 to 2005. The analysis allows investors to both understand real stock returns and make informed estimates of average real returns going forward. Although the typical case being made today for lower stock returns in the future is apparent, given today's significantly lower dividend yield, the author explores the conditions under which real returns can continue at their historical average. Using this framework, investors can easily substitute their expectations about real earnings growth and market valuations into the model to make intelligent estimates of average real returns over some future period.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT}, author={Jones, Charles P.}, year={2008}, pages={12-+} } @article{jones_wilson_2006, title={Using the supply-side approach to understand and estimate equity returns - Advantages of a disciplined framework.}, volume={33}, ISSN={["2168-8656"]}, DOI={10.3905/jpm.2006.661378}, abstractNote={A supply-side analysis of the average stock returns over 1926-2004 helps us see how components that include real earnings growth and the price-earnings ratio have contributed to the average total return. The long-run sustainable average equity return can be expressed as a benchmark expected equity return. An innovation is that investors can use a supply-side model as a disciplined framework for estimating average equity returns over much shorter periods than the 80-year sample analyzed.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT}, author={Jones, Charles P. and Wilson, Jack W.}, year={2006}, pages={76–85} } @book{jones_2004, title={Investments: Analysis and management (9th ed.)}, ISBN={0471456667}, publisher={Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons}, author={Jones, C.

Using geometric means and standard deviations, we examine nominal and inflation-adjusted monthly returns over nonoverlapping 5-year periods, as well as annual returns over periods of approximately 25 years, and we document how stock and bond volatility changed over the period. Our analysis suggests that the relative change in the volatility of stocks and volatility of bonds over the past 50 years has increased the importance of stocks in asset allocation. The change is even more pronounced when inflation is considered. This article examines the changing nature of stock and bond risk from 1871 through 2000 and the implications for asset allocation. Using geometric means and standard deviations, we examine nominal and inflation-adjusted monthly returns over five-year periods, as well as annual returns over periods of approximately 25 years, and document how stock and bond volatility changed over the sample period. Our analysis suggests that the change in the relative volatility of stocks and bonds over the past 50 years has increased the attractiveness of stocks in asset allocation, and the change is even more pronounced when inflation is considered. Since about 1940, stock volatility has fluctuated in a narrow range, and both low and high mean stock returns have been associated with similar levels of volatility. But bond volatility increased during the last 35 years of the series. The best 5-year nominal mean returns on bonds occurred during a 10-year period when bond volatility was at its highest level in history. The geometric mean nominal returns of stocks exceeded those of bonds in 18 of the 26 nonoverlapping five-year periods. Inflation-adjusted geometric mean stock returns were negative in only 3 of the 26 periods, but for bonds, they were negative in 10 of the 26 periods. The inflation-adjusted geometric standard deviation of bonds was 30 percent higher than the nominal standard geometric deviation for the 1871–2000 period. For stocks in this period, however, there was little difference between inflation-adjusted and nominal geometric standard deviations. The relative riskiness of stocks and bonds has undergone a long-term change. Until roughly 1950, the ratio of the two variances (stocks to bonds) was much greater than it has been subsequently except for a single five-year period. An examination of five-year standard deviations indicates that bond risk has increased since the 1960s whereas stock risk has remained relatively steady. The correlation between bond returns and stock returns, although fluctuating, has been increasing. Combined with the increase in bond volatility relative to stock volatility, this rising correlation has important implications for asset allocation. Our analysis of the nominal risk–return trade-off available to investors shows that the situation changed after World War II. For the later two 25-year periods examined here, a 100 percent bond portfolio, or a portfolio invested primarily in bonds, compared unfavorably on a return–risk basis with several portfolios that had larger stock allocations. This outcome was most pronounced in the last period, 1974–2000, when a 70/30 stock/bond allocation had less risk and a much larger return than did a 100 percent bond portfolio. Clearly, during the last half of the 20th century, the changes in relative stock and bond volatility increased the attractiveness of stocks relative to bonds. On an inflation-adjusted basis, the case for portfolios heavily invested in bonds is even weaker than it is on a nominal basis. Bonds are affected more severely when adjusted for the increased risk caused by the covariance of nominal bond returns and inflation.}, number={1}, journal={Financial Analysts Journal}, author={Jones, C.

JONES is GLU professor of 6nance at the College of Management of North Carolina State University in Raleigh (NC 27695). D espite the vast amount of information available about bond yields and returns, there are differences in the data series involving this important asset class. A good example is seen in the Treasury bond data for 1994. For long-term Treasuries for 1994, Ibbotson Associates reports the yield increasing from 6.54% to 8.09%, for a total return of -7.77%. In contrast, the Lehman Brothers long-term Treasury index shows yields rising from 6.42% to 7.98%, for a total return of -6.94%, a substantial difference in reported results. Some vendors of bond data complain about the validIty and usefulness of competing sources of data supplied to users. There are also gaps in bond data when compared to common stocks, for which we have reconstructed the SP Schwert [1990] has extended market data even farther back.

For guidance based on historical results, they can refer to published analyses of realized returns such as those produced regularly in Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation [1994] or the much longer time series presented by Wilson and Jones [ 19871, both involving S&P 500 composite index data. For example, as a result of the Ibbotson data, many investors have heard that the annual rate of return from the begmning of 1926 through the end of any recent year was about lo%, with a standard deviation of approximately 20%. Investment advisory services and various publications often use 10% as the annual rate of return that investors have earned, and therefore should expect to earn, on average, from investment in common stocks. Despite the summary information available on realized rates of return from common stocks and the widely known 10% average rate of return, legitimate and important questions remain. What are the actual probabihties of earning at least a 10% rate of return on common stocks over various holdmg periods, given the historical rates of return that occurred?
